Advanced MRI scans could predict persistent symptoms in concussion patients

Offering patients with concussion a type of brain scan known as diffusion tensor imaging MRI could help identify the one in three people who will experience persistent symptoms that can be life changing, say Cambridge researchers. Around one in 200 people in Europe every year will suffer concussion. In the UK, more than 1 million […]

American Heart Association funds four new projects to evaluate the role of race in predicting heart disease risk

People with heart disease may receive different care because of how race is interpreted in health risk calculators and other tools that help clinicians make treatment decisions. The American Heart Association, a global force for healthier lives for all celebrating 100 years of lifesaving service, awarded four new grants this month to support scientific research […]

Tiktaalik fossil reveals key step in evolution of walking

Before the evolution of legs from fins, the axial skeleton -; including the bones of the head, neck, back and ribs -; was already going through changes that would eventually help our ancestors support their bodies to walk on land. A research team including a Penn State biologist completed a new reconstruction of the skeleton […]

AI assistance in radiology shows mixed results for performance

One of the most touted promises of medical artificial intelligence tools is their ability to augment human clinicians’ performance by helping them interpret images such as X-rays and CT scans with greater precision to make more accurate diagnoses. But the benefits of using AI tools on image interpretation appear to vary from clinician to clinician, […]

99mTc-maraciclatide holds potential as a non-invasive test for early-stage endometriosis

The presentation summarized the preliminary findings from patients with known or suspected endometriosis who were imaged with a SPECT-CT camera and subsequently underwent planned laparoscopic surgery, a key-hole surgical procedure to establish the presence, absence and location of endometriotic lesions. The imaging findings were compared to the surgical and histology reports and indicate that 99mTc-maraciclatide […]

Study shows link between sweetened drinks and higher atrial fibrillation risk

Adults who reported drinking two liters (about 67 ounces) or more of sugar- or artificially sweetened drinks per week had a higher risk of an irregular heart rhythm known as atrial fibrillation compared with adults who drank fewer such beverages, according to new research published today in Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart […]

Stroke and neck artery tear increase heart attack risk in the first year

Heart attack risk almost doubles in the first year after a stroke or when combined with a tear in a neck artery wall, however, a tear without a stroke does not seem to raise heart attack risk, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference 2024. The meeting will be held […]

Using ripretinib and surgery to manage recurrent gastrointestinal stromal tumor

A new case report was published in Oncoscience (Volume 10) on September 20, 2023, entitled, “Multi-disciplinary management of recurrent gastrointestinal stromal tumor harboring KIT exon 11 mutation with the switch-control kinase inhibitor ripretinib and surgery.” Ripretinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that was approved by the United States FDA in 2020 for treatment of advanced […]

Socioeconomic status may not clearly predict the heart health of racial and ethnic groups

Improvements in socioeconomic status (education, income, employment status and health insurance) on ideal cardiovascular health may not benefit people from all racial or ethnic groups equally, as white adults were more likely to benefit than Black, Hispanic and Asian adults in the U.S., according to new research published today in the Journal of the American […]
